19 o allocated space used for thunk now always W^X (req. for e.g. OpenBSD >= 6.0) |
217 | 20 dynload: |
224 | 21 o major reliability/stability fixes for Mach-O dlSyms* functions to (thanks Stéphane Mons for help): |
22 better handle loading dylibs by symlink, relative path, random casing, etc. | |
23 fixes to symbol name lookups that used wrong offsets before | |
24 64-bit platform fixes (was broken on x64 and never supported on others) | |
217 | 25 o allowing Mach-O dlSyms* lib to be used standalone (consistent with ELF and PE impls now) |
224 | 26 o simplifications of implemention on Darwin, sharing parts with *nix implementation |
